Today we are introducing Badger Swarm, a new tool for Privacy Badger that runs distributed Badger Sett scans in the cloud. Badger Swarm helps us continue updating and growing Privacy Badger’s tracker knowledge, as well as continue adding new ways of catching trackers. Thanks to continually expanding Badger Swarm-powered training, Privacy Badger comes packed with its largest blocklist yet.
Great! I’d be interested in seeing a somewhat detailed comparison between UBlock Origin and Badger Swarm. I really liked the concept of privacy badger, and it seems like the latest updates may have addressed potential fingerprinting issues and improved its slower organic learning/blocking model. I’m definitely going to check this out. 👍
